The Kingdom (Mike Bennett, Matt Taven, and Maria Kanellis-Bennett) signed multi-year contracts with AEW in October 2022. Before that, they had a prominent run in IMPACT, and they had also been featured in the previous regime of ROH. The trio has been part of the new ROH since its weekly TV show returned in March. Bennett and Taven have also been part of Roderick Strong's storyline with Adam Cole on AEW TV.
